Stop conflating the two.

Paper and cloth masks are as effective at stopping covid infection as they are at stopping you from smelling flatus ejected by a rotund diner at the Golden Correl.

I would be supportive of masking if they were requiring proper N95 or better respirators, well fitted. They are not, they are requiring a magic talisman that has no effect on the prevention of covid transmission.
There are degrees of mask effectiveness according to the medical and Scientific community. There is an expression that MAY apply here - "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good".
